The clinical and imaging manifestations of PHPBL are variable and non-special, which are akin to those of tumor of hepatobiliary and pancreatic system. The overall prognosis and management of PHPBL differ from those of other tumors in hepatobiliary and pancreas. Proper diagnosis and prompt treatment are essential for improving clinical outcomes. Due to its rarity, the optimal treatment has not been issued. However, CHOP/R-CHOP-based chemotherapy is considered as a standard treatment for them. This review provides an overview of the pathogenesis, diagnosis, pathology, and management of PHPBL and offer clinicians the diagnosis and management schedule for PHPBL.
